Product Description
The MTC Bio EmbryoGuard™ M6215 is a 15mL centrifuge tube that has been Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) tested — purpose-built for embryology, IVF research, reproductive biology, stem cell work, and any sensitive cell culture application where material-related toxicity and biological compatibility are critical. The 15mL conical format is the most widely used tube size across all areas of cell biology and reproductive medicine, making the M6215 the natural choice for labs that want to bring MEA-tested assurance to their standard centrifuge tube workflows. Manufactured from high-purity plastics, tested to established MEA standards, and certified sterile, RNase-free, DNase-free, and pyrogen-free.
Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) Tested — Documented Biological Safety The Mouse Embryo Assay is the established bioassay for confirming the biological safety of plasticware and materials used in assisted reproduction and embryology. EmbryoGuard™ tubes were developed to reduce the risk of material-related interference in embryo-sensitive workflows, and have been tested using established MEA standards to confirm their suitability for delicate embryology procedures. For IVF clinics, reproductive biology research labs, and embryology core facilities, MEA-tested consumables are a fundamental requirement. The M6215 provides documented MEA certification for every production lot, supporting full traceability in regulated and quality-controlled environments.
Standard 15mL Conical Format — MEA-Safe for Routine Workflows The 15mL conical centrifuge tube is the single most versatile and widely used tube format in the modern biology laboratory. The EmbryoGuard™ M6215 brings MEA-tested biological safety assurance to this universal format — allowing labs to use the same familiar 15mL conical tube they rely on for everyday cell culture, centrifugation, and media preparation, with the added confidence that the tube material has been validated for embryo-sensitive applications. Suitable for cell pelleting, density gradient centrifugation, media preparation and aliquoting, sperm processing, sample storage, and routine lab workflows in reproductive medicine and sensitive cell culture settings.
High-Purity Plastic Construction — Minimized Embryotoxicity Risk Standard 15mL centrifuge tubes, while appropriate for general molecular biology and routine cell culture, are not necessarily manufactured to the purity levels required for embryo-sensitive work. Plasticizers, mold-release agents, and residual processing compounds that have no measurable impact on robust cell lines can be severely detrimental to embryo development and viability. EmbryoGuard™ tubes are manufactured from high-purity plastics specifically selected and validated to minimize biological impact across the most demanding reproductive biology workflows.
Sterile, RNase-Free, DNase-Free, Pyrogen-Free Each EmbryoGuard™ M6215 tube meets the full suite of biological safety specifications required for sensitive reproductive biology and stem cell applications — free from nucleases that could compromise nucleic acid integrity and free from pyrogens that could trigger adverse biological responses in sensitive culture systems. Sterility is confirmed for every production lot.
